We actually do have a policy that applies to using
LGPL libraries:

Does the project's use fit within this policy?

PMC Approval for libwebsockets usage in TCF agent
Sent by:
tools-pmc-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxx
Hello,
I would like to make use of the libwebsockets library
(https://libwebsockets.org/)
in the Eclipse TCF agent
(https://www.eclipse.org/tcf/).
According to the libwebsockets license
(https://github.com/warmcat/libwebsockets/blob/v2.0-stable/LICENSE),
it
should not be an issue to link this library statically and/or
dynamically with TCF agent (TCF agent is written in "C" code).
Can you please confirm it is okay to include usage of
libwebsockets in
TCF agent. Please, let me know any additional
details/information you
may need.
Regards,
Didier Brachet
